At Occasional Planet, [1] Mike Davis discusses the ubiquitous TV commercials touting the green-ness of natural gas and Canadian tar-sand oil. At my workplace lunchroom, there is a TV, and I’ve seen these misleading commercials many times. I’ve also seen many recent ads for “clean coal,” [2] even though no such coal plants exist [3]. Interesting how the industry never even attempts to argue that coal ash is “clean.” [4]
Mike notes a lack of media stories critical of these ads, not surprising given the ad revenue the media receives for running these commercials.
